Hansel & Gretel

Auntie Julie and her mother Norma, a gingerbread house veteran, invited us to try our hand at Christmas architecture. We eagerly obliged, prepared for a few hours of toddler sugar consumption (OK, I ate some too). After plowing through three pastry bags of royal icing and enough chocolate shingles to make Hansel and Gretel proud, we carted our treasure and our totally high children home. We are very proud of Chez Barnes.
